beamer – A LaTeX class for producing presentations and slides

The beamer LaTeX class can be used for pro­duc­ing slides.
The class works in both PostScript and di­rect PDF out­put modes,
us­ing the pgf graph­ics sys­tem
for vi­sual ef­fects.

Con­tent is cre­ated in the frame en­vi­ron­ment,
and each frame can be made up of a num­ber of slides
us­ing a sim­ple no­ta­tion for spec­i­fy­ing ma­te­rial to
ap­pear on each slide within a frame.
Short ver­sions of ti­tle, au­thors, in­sti­tute can also be
spec­i­fied as op­tional pa­ram­e­ters.
Whole frame graph­ics are sup­ported by plain frames.
The class sup­ports fig­ure and ta­ble en­vi­ron­ments,
trans­parency ef­fects, vary­ing slide tran­si­tions and
an­i­ma­tions.
Beamer also pro­vides com­pat­i­bil­ity with other pack­ages
like pros­per.

The pack­age now in­cor­po­rates the func­tion­al­ity of the for­mer
trans­la­tor pack­age, which is used for cus­tomis­ing the
pack­age for use in other lan­guage en­vi­ron­ments.
